Eugenics

Eugenics is a very cruel way of breeding human beens in my way.  First of all each kid has special characteristics which should be special to the human. Eugenics is when you eliminate certain genes of a child, so you can have a so called "special child". In my opinion I think all kids are special and shouldn't be breaded for certain genes.  For example I don't think its right if you have blond hair and your spouse has red hair and you don't want your kid to have red hair so you eliminate that gene.

Eugenics become a big part of the United States in the 1920s and 1930s.  Our country was going through some hard time and a depression.  Many people lost jobs, homes, and money due to this depression.  Many people started to get diseases and other sicknesses.  Many people started using eugenics to have healthy child, this is one good thing of eugenics. But other people started to abuse just because they didn't want their child to have a certain genetic.  Eugenics was used mainly on the emigrants coming to the United Sates, many people used this science to eliminate certain kinds of races to.

In my opinion I truly think that using the method of eugenics is very wrong and not right.  I think that each person should have his or hers certain features and they shouldn't be changed for any reason.  In my research I found out that eugenics was a type of science to mess up the types of a humans Dominant and Recessive genes. A Dominant gene is a feature or disease that sticks out the most from your generation or your family tree.  A Recessive gene is a feature or disease that skips a generation because it takes two copies to make the gene.  Eugenics was used to change or manipulate these genes.


Eugenic was a huge part of American culture in the early twenty century.  Eugenics is meant to be "good   birth". Eugenics was first founded in Britain, but was brought to the United States. I truly think Eugenics is a cruel way to bread a child or more than one child.  Many families who used eugenics was most likely to have more than one child.  In my opinion using eugenics is a cruel way to have a perfect baby, I truly think it will ruin your family genetics.  I truly think that making a perfect baby is impossible because nobody is perfect.
